Question 3113 Deck General

The correct answer is A) the First and Second Officers of the vessel or a majority of the crew. According to US Coast Guard regulations, the Master of a vessel must apply to a district court when an allegation of unseaworthiness has been made to the Master by the First and Second Officers of the vessel or a majority of the crew. This is because the First and Second Officers, as well as a majority of the crew, are in the best position to assess the seaworthiness of the vessel and are responsible for the safety of the vessel and its operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement for the Master to apply to a district court when the allegation of unseaworthiness comes from the First and Second Officers or a majority of the crew.
